Thick and creamy homemade caramel sauce is one of the most amazingly divine treats and it's super easy to make! You simply melt some sugar in a pan and simmer it until it starts to turn a nice amber colour before adding some cream and butter and optionally some flavours like vanilla or salt. After letting it cool a bit you are ready to go to use the caramel sauce on whatever you like from simply with apples to on melting vanilla ice cream to apple pies, etc. (Take a look below the recipe to find some ideas about what you can use it on!) The caramel sauce will keep in the fridge for months and it makes for a great present for the holidays! That is if you can bring yourself to part with it! My precious!

oh my gosh! i disappeared for a few days and you posted like 100 amazing recipes! they all look so good! do you do delivery?! ;) I want every single one of those pizzas!! this caramel sauce looks really, really good, too. i love apples with caramel - and the pictures are gorgeous!

Love caramel sauce, love it. And the short canning jars are way cute and I love the autumn plate for this. Interiors is my first love, can you tell, hence the table setting luncheon every year. Honey crisp apples are sooo good but really expensive, $2.99 per pound. But everything is high this year. Do you think you could create a sandwich with caramel? That is a good challenge. I'll be watching.

Not too many men making their own caramel sauce. You are a catch!I made some this year for the first time, a recipe similar to yours. Love honey crisp too, we are near Algoma and pick them up there. Beautiful photo, lovely lighting.

This is the best caramel sauce i have ever seen in my whole life. Really they looks so delicious. I am sure going to make them. The will be excelent with ice cream too.And i woudn''t get a chance to lick to pot or the spoon as my daughter will be waiting there like a hawk to do it :-)

I love your photos and presentation, Kevin! It's so like magazine shots. Before I came to N.America, I did not even know there is such thing ' apples dip in caramel' Pretty sad, huh? :) Then my host sister got me hooked.

I saw your photo on tastespotting and it looked fabulous! I just made some salted butter caramel and it was brilliant on everything (the SBC popcorn was delish!). Must keep this recipe in mind for when I run out.

Oh this is lovely! I laughed when you mentioned cleaning out the pan with your fingers! We're seeing more and more of your personality in your posts! This sauce would be a great addition to the Thanksgiving menus that your blog fans from the U.S. will be preparing for soon! YUM!

I just made your sauce. It is amazingly easy, rich, and delicious. I used whipping cream instead of heavy cream because I had it. No problem with that. I also used a whisk instead of a wooden spoon, which worked fine.Can't wait to try more of your recipes!

Anonymous: I would say that in a lot of cases dulce de leche and caramel sauce are interchangeable. I have only just started getting into dulce de leche and I have a lot more experimentation to do with it! :)

Anonymous & Mr. Piemaker: This recipe is for the wet method and for the dry method, simply omit the water and syrup. Both methods will yield caramel sauce that you can dip or pour. When it comes out of the fridge it will be fairly solid but at room temperature it will be dip-able and at a slightly warmer temperature you can easily pour it.

I have tried this recipe twice and have never achieved the color in the picture. What could I be doing wrong? I have waited two different amount of times to have the sugar mixture turn into this amber color. Neither times have I achieved it. This last time my mixture got pretty thick from the wait with no change in color at all. The first time I made it I used light corn syrup so I thought that could have been the problem...this time I used the dark one and the color changed by only a couple of shades. Please help or I might give up on this one. :D

Jesmyn Hibbard: All of the colour is going to come from simmering the sugar before adding the cream. You want to keep simmering it until it turns a mid to dark amber and then add the cream. What colour are you getting when you make it?

How many cups of caramel sauce does this recipe yield? I'm planning on making it with your vanilla apple crisp recipe (which calls for 3 cups of this bad boy) and you say this recipe doesn't make much. Should I double the recipe? Triple it ? Thanx!
